So I’m not usually one for WW2 books, I find them bleak and depressing (and rightly so). However, I was willing to give The Killing Code a go, because it features female sapphic codebreakers – and it’s also written by Ellie Marney, whose writing I adore. The Killing Code features sapphic female codebreakers during the […]
It’s been 24 hours since I finished this book and I’m still completely shaken up by it – Verity has certainly left a lasting impression! This is definitely not a book for the faint hearted, it’s twisted, featuring fucked up characters and situations that are just completely messed up. Unlike Colleen Hoover’s other books, Verity is definitely not […]
The Good Things Hello, my name is Bec and I have a book hangover thanks to this novel. It’s a YA standalone thriller. A historical fantasy/ supernatural thriller actually, which I didn’t realise until I was a few chapters in. This is one of the creepiest books I’ve ever read. Most supernatural things in books […]
What a brilliant and compelling book! Ace of Spades certainly delivers on the Get Out and Gossip Girl comparisons, while delivering shocking twists at the end. This is one of those books that I couldn’t put down, wanting to know what the solution to the mystery was, and when all the answers were shown, I was just left there in […]
With rave reviews everywhere, and even a Netflix option by Barack & Michelle Obama’s production company, there’s certainly a lot of hype attached to the Firekeeper’s Daughter. The main character Duanis, is a biracial 18 year old hockey player who gets caught up in an FBI investigation in her local Obijwe community. Perhaps I’m just used […]
The Good Things Suspenseful YA thriller by one of my favourite authors. First two thirds is a really intense hostage situation gone wrong. It had me on the edge of my seat! I couldn’t believe how much good plot and character development was squeezed into such a short amount of time. Last part is an […]
The Good Things Guess who has a late addition to their best reads of 2020! Brilliant and addictive standalone NA historical thriller by an Aussie author. Strong Mindhunter vibes (but with more actual crime solving, less of the character’s outside lives). It’s so hard not to just gush about everything. I figured out a few […]
The Good things Final book in the Embassy Row trilogy, a YA contemporary/ thriller trilogy. This was what I’d been waiting for in the last two books! Twists and turns, centuries old secrets and deep betrayals! And a lot more death! All my pressing questions have been answered! I finished this in one sitting (more […]
The Good Things Book 2 in the Embassy Row trilogy, a YA thriller/ contemporary series. Picks up directly where All Fall Down ended and gets moving. It explores more of Grace’s mother’s secrets and introduced some new mysteries. Like all Ally Carter books, super easy to read. Especially the last half! I’m super intrigued by […]
